Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 85 Damn, I think I saw Grandma!

at the same time.

Millions of miles away, a portal as dark as an abyss appeared in the void.

next moment,

Li Wudao and Jiang Churan flew out from it and plummeted straight down.

"Fuck!"

The boy opened his eyes and immediately felt as if the sky had fallen.

Patches of bright white clouds floated gracefully not far above his head, clearly visible and within reach!

Looking down again,

The ground was a blur, with only the outlines of some lakes and mountains vaguely visible, a vast expanse of white.

Li Wudao's breath hitched, and he nearly fainted.

Damn, he thinks he heard his great-grandmother calling him...

at this time,

Jiang Churan lifted her head from the boy's chest and saw the scene before her; her pretty face immediately turned pale.

"You're such an unreliable guy! Now look what happened, you didn't get beaten to death, you just fell to your death!"

The girl gritted her teeth and pinched the soft flesh on Li Wudao's waist hard.

Judging by sight, it's at least a thousand feet above the ground.

If she fell with her current cultivation level, she would be crippled even if she didn't die. If she was lucky, she might still have a breath left, but if she was unlucky, she would be completely destroyed.

Li Wudao was pulled so hard he was grimacing, and knowing he was in the wrong, he could only laugh awkwardly.

He felt depressed.

The teleportation point was on the airship, at a similar high altitude. Could it be that this Great Teleportation Talisman can only teleport horizontally?

If that's the case, then that's incredibly hasty.

For people who can't fly, isn't this a death sentence?

Bad review, absolutely a bad review!

"Whoosh-"

A cold wind blew, causing their hair to become tangled and fall together, creating a messy yet beautiful effect.

Suddenly, Jiang Churan frowned and said coldly, "Why are you hugging me so tightly?"

A moment later, Li Wudao's weak voice came through.

"I'm afraid of heights, but I can't help it. Holding you makes me feel safe."

"........"

Jiang Churan was speechless, feeling both ashamed and angry.

A strange emotion welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but pinch the boy's waist hard again.

In her past life, she was the revered Empress Qingyao, whom even acquaintances dared not harbor improper thoughts about, let alone hold tightly in her arms...

If she weren't so high up in the air, she would have slapped him long ago, ensuring he'd be bedridden for at least half a month.

But then I thought about it,

Whether I can survive is still unknown, so there's no point in thinking about it. My anger has subsided considerably.

As time passed, the wind howled louder and louder, and the two of them fell faster.

Looking down at the gradually clearing landscape below,

Jiang Churan sighed and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

Even after being reborn, she still couldn't change anything. Perhaps... this is fate.

Just as she resigned herself to her fate,

Suddenly, I felt my body tilt to the side and I bent over.

Jiang Churan opened her puzzled eyes and saw the boy holding her tightly, his somewhat thin back facing the ground.

"What are you doing? If you fall like that, you'll be nothing more than a puddle of mud!"

The girl's pupils contracted slightly, she frowned and snapped, urging the boy to regain his composure.

As an empress, she has her own unwavering pride and principles, and she doesn't need a young man to stand up and die for her.

That was an insult to her!

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned, this height won't kill me."

Li Wudao responded calmly, his tone resolute.

But inside, I was panicking.

To be honest, he didn't know what would happen if he fell, and could only pin his hopes on the Pure Yang Holy Body and the Silver Silkworm Armor.

After all, it withstood an attack from a Martial King at the peak of his power.

I probably... maybe... I guess I won't die?

Anyway, he couldn't just watch Xiao Jiang fall and die without helping; that wasn't his style.

"you........"

Jiang Churan was furious, but dared not make a move.

She was in a state of utter confusion and didn't know what to do.

As the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.

If even husband and wife are like this, how many people can have such a resolute spirit and temperament when faced with matters of life and death?

Thinking of this,

The girl bit her red lips, and a soft spot deep within her heart, long buried, was stirred.

Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and some absurd guesses arose in her mind.

"Could it be... that he... likes me?"

Upon hearing this thought, Jiang Churan immediately panicked, shaking her head repeatedly, not daring to think about it any further.

In her past life, during her cultivation journey, many senior experts warned her not to get involved in emotions, otherwise her cultivation would be hindered and she would find it difficult to reach the peak.

In addition, she was aloof by nature, so she never had any thoughts about this until she became an emperor.

Therefore, the current surge of emotion in her heart has left her somewhat at a loss.

now,

If Li Wudao knew what the girl was thinking, he would definitely curse and argue with those so-called seniors.

Pretending to know what you don't and spouting nonsense—isn't that misleading people?

A perfectly fine girl, and then...

This is even more hateful than "drag innocent women into prostitution and persuade prostitutes to reform themselves."

"boom!"

Just as Jiang Churan was lost in thought, a heavy thud suddenly rang out.

Two figures crashed to the ground in the forest with a loud thud, startling birds into flight and raising clouds of dust.

A short while later, Jiang Churan came to her senses, got up and looked at the scene, and was somewhat taken aback.

She's alive and completely unharmed?!

The girl's expression changed slightly in the next instant, and she quickly looked at Li Wudao on the ground.

At this moment, the boy was lying sprawled on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his entire back deeply sunken, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the surrounding area for several meters.

Such impact and destructive power are evident.

Seeing her pale face and unconscious state, Jiang Churan's heart sank.

Immediately, she took out various healing pills, more than ten kinds, and stuffed them all into the boy's mouth.

After a long while, there was still no response.

Jiang Churan panicked and felt completely lost.

She shook the boy's arm, her expression dejected, and said, "Hey, Li Wudao, wake up! You absolutely can't die..."

"Cough-cough-"

Suddenly, a series of coughs began.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wudao's weak voice came, "Grandma, please stop shaking me. I'll be shaken to death even if I'm not dead yet."

Seeing this, Jiang Churan was overjoyed, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

If the boy never wakes up again, she will live the rest of her life in guilt, unable to extricate herself.

"How do you feel now?"

She stepped forward and helped the boy up, a hint of worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"It's nothing, just some minor internal injuries. It'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Li Wudao's face was pale, but he grinned.

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough again, spitting out two mouthfuls of black blood, and his breath became increasingly weak.

Fortunately, he possessed a pure Yang Holy Body, which made him exceptionally strong, and the silver silkworm armor provided shock absorption, which allowed him to survive.

At that height, if it were a martial artist of the same realm, they would have already been turned into a pile of meat patties.

"I told you not to be a show-off, now you're behaving yourself."

Jiang Churan spoke reproachfully, but she held the boy tightly in her arms, her bright eyes flashing with worry.

How could someone with the True Essence Realm cultivation level be unharmed after falling from such a height?

At that moment, the girl's heart was filled with mixed emotions: palpitations, gratitude, joy, and confusion...
